The Struggle Now Continues

I really do not intend this to be a political blog but some things can't go by without comment. I would have thought that given the sheer joy and power of last night's historic election of Barack Obama, certain groups in this country would have the general issue of civil rights on their mind. So shame on you black voters of California (that is 70% of you http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/11/05/california-votes-down-same-sex-marriage/) for tossing the spirit of this amazing moment aside and voting to deny another minority group a basic human right, namely the right to marry the person they love. Your vote for Prop 8 is a horrible setback for the wonderful idea that all groups should be treated as equals. If only you had brushed up on the history of your fight to marry whom you choose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia
